WH Press Pool does not see Trump for second consecutive day. No public events scheduled this weekend as he stays in DC.




It's weird how he is allegedly staying in DC for the holiday weekend instead of going to one of his golf clubs. Of course, that could change. If he remains out of sight all weekend, it might become a story. Still too early to get our hopes up.
